About Exterior Auto Lifts

Take your mobility device with you wherever and whenever you want for full mobility outside the home through a 101 Mobility Austin wheelchair carrier or a scooter carrier fit for your car. This type of lift attaches to a car, SUV, minivan, or truck by means of a hitch, and consists of a platform or actuator which secures and carries your mobility device.

Our exterior hitch-mounted vehicle lifts include sleek, contemporary designs that complement the vehicle’s styling. They are compact, but powerful enough to carry many power chairs and scooters securely, often with no modification necessary.

The space-efficient rear profile permits greater visibility out the rear window when the lift is folded, and creates an understated presence on the vehicle.

Many of our lifts have convenient swing-away options, allowing you to easily rotate the lift almost 180 degrees for complete access to the back hatch, trunk, or tailgate, and is angle adjustable to accommodate uneven vehicle hitch receivers.

Platform-style auto lifts attach to the rear of a car, truck, minivan, or SUV via the vehicle’s tow hitch. For vehicles that do not have a hitch, our experts can install one.

The platform automatically lowers to the ground to enable easy drive-on/drive-off of your power chair, scooter, or wheelchair. Once your mobility device is in place on the platform, it is secured in place with a hold-down arm or sturdy nylon straps.

Many platform lifts are available with “swing-away” options, which enable the lift to be moved away from the vehicle 180 degrees when not in use to allow access to the automobile’s tailgate, trunk, or cargo hatch.

Boom-style wheelchair carriers or scooter carriers are suitable for use with most pickup trucks. The base of the lift is mounted in the bed of the truck, and the arm lowers out to attach to a wheelchair, power chair, or mobility scooter. With the press of a button, the lift transfers the mobility device into the bed of the truck, holding it securely in place.

Boom-style lifts may be installed on the driver’s side or passenger’s side of the truck, depending on the user’s needs. They place the mobility device close to the vehicle’s door, making transitions from a wheelchair to a truck easier for anyone who has difficulty maneuvering without a mobility device.

Each auto lift has different compatibility requirements. When you speak with 101 Mobility Austin’s expert Mobility Consultants, we will need to know the make and model of your automobile as well as the make and model of your mobility device. Based on that information, we will use our compatibility checker to provide you with a list of all compatible auto lifts.

Our experts will then discuss the benefits and limitations of each compatible auto lift with you to determine the best unit for your specific needs.

Each of 101 Mobility Austin’s exterior-mounted auto lifts are available with a weatherproof cover for your mobility device, ensuring easy transportation in any weather. We include a complimentary one-year limited service warranty on every one of our auto lifts in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty to give you additional peace of mind.
